One of my most favorite accessories for my newborn babies is their car seat covers. For my first two babies I used a type of blanket that covered the top of the car seat and draped over the baby. These are great in that they keep the baby covered and it is darker in the car seat for the baby to sleep. However, once the baby grows they do not like to be covered and unable to see what is going on around them. Furthermore, living in a hot desert climate does not merit the need for a thick, hot blanket either.
To my surprise, there is actually a product out there, which solves both of my biggest concerns with my old car seat covers, and it is AFFORDABLE! It is $14.99 on their website. So you can image how THRILLED I was to have the opportunity to review this product. Let me introduce you to the awesome COZY COVER. My favorite cover is the “sun and bug cover.” It comes in 4 different colors. This cover is made from weather proof, lightweight polyester shell. The bug cover is the first layer and then there is a pull-over flap you can pull down when you are out in the sun. The product is lightweight and easy to store in a diaper bag or car too.
I have been using the cozy cover for a couple months now and here are my pros and cons: for the pros, I love that it is so lightweight and breathable for my baby. I also like that my baby is protected, and that she can still see what is going on even with the cover on. As for the cons, I have a Peg Prego car seat and I feel like the canopy is a little too snug around my car seat. My baby is 9 months old now and her feet touch the edge of the cover. Also once the cozy cover is on it stays put pretty well, but it is a little tricky to get the cover onto my car seat. Perhaps it is because of the type of car seat, I’m not too sure.
So why do you need this cover for your baby? Well, first of all, for the safety. This cover keeps unwanted insects out when sitting at the park on a sunny afternoon. It will also keep out unwanted people or other children from poking your little one. Also, the pull-over flap provides UV ray protection for your babe as well.
